    Works great and can move it around in the truck or on the windows like intended. I use it with a cheap antenna combiner from Walmart along with the built in.

    I had a remote control directional yagi on a painters pole for a while but it didn't stand up to truck bouncing.
     
    tucker Thanks this.

    Some posted about a APP that shows you signals and there strength at your location. point i that may be helpful when you use your flat on so you know which side of the truck to put it on

    I know there is a websight from the government and industry... it escapes me at the moment.

    Would love to know about the App!

    I know that the "TV Guide" App will give you the OTA channels if you know the zip code you are close to. That helps to see what's on in your area as your area changes.

    I had one of those square antennas suction cupped to my sleeper window and was satisfied with its performance.

    It's not Directv but much better than stock truck wiring.
     
    tucker and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Speaking of DirecTV... I heard that ATT, who purchased DTV, was offering a free streaming plan for DTV via their cell towers.

    Must have ATT phone and DirecTV at home but it's then free streaming of that programming.

    AT&T started doing that a few months back. For regular TV, anyone use a Jack Antenna? http://www.adventurerv.net/king-con...rtsfeed_ppc&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=Froogle
